Sony VGC-RB30 Video Card
Almost all newer desktops will have at least one spot available for a video card to be added to the system. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Battlefield, Fortnite or Far Cry. There are really only two kinds of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. A video card computes and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you. Integrated video cards are almost never as good as a dedicated video card, generally speaking.
Major clues of a deteriorating display card
- The graphics on your screen displays bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer crashes when trying to start up a graphic intensive game
- The screen does not always come on when booting up
- A driver for the video card does not seem to install properly
